Temporary total disability typically begins and ends when?

Temporary total disability means the employee is completely unable to work because of a work-related injury. It starts on the date the injury first prevents working, not from some fixed later time. It ends when the employee can return to work (even in some capacity) or when they reach maximum medical improvement, meaning their medical condition has plateaued and further recovery isn’t expected with treatment. If they return to work, wage loss benefits stop; if TTD ends at MMI without a return to work, other disability benefits may apply based on remaining impairment.
